Quick request - updated pattern
Hi everyone - I have just updated my Sawston Infinity Scarf pattern so it now includes a new small size Cowl as well as the longer Infinity Scarf.
I have sent out all the updates for the pattern but there are a few e-mails which are not working. Can you let me know if you haven't received your updated copy yet and I'll get it out to you! Many thanks! See my latest blogpost for more info.

An updated pattern and a new blogpost:
Add a twist to your knitting!
|
In my last blogpost, I started my new accessories series by looking at knitted cowls as they are such a useful addition to keep you warm at this time of year.
However, there is one situation when there can be a problem with cowls – and that is when you want to wear them under a coat or jacket. Then you might find that they are trying to stick out from your body and refusing to fold neatly at the neckline. There is fortunately an easy solution to that, but we need to go into the realms of mathematics to find it! Click here to find out more ..... The photo shows the new Sawston Cowl which has joined its longer counterpart, the Sawston Infinity Scarf in a newly updated pattern.

New photo – Where we like to knit
|
If you click on the "About" tab of this website, you will see that I have a gallery of places where I like to knit, courtesy of my husband Tim's photos. Well, it's time to add another photo to that collection!
This time Tim has captured a lovely photo of both Anna and I knitting together in Sweden. It was gloriously sunny and warm during our visit and it was so enjoyable to be able to sit and knit by the side of the lake. In this photo, we are in the gardens of Grönsöö Palace on the shores of Lake Mälaren just to the west of Stockholm. Please click here to read more about this beautiful place. |
New pattern – Somertide Placemats
The essence of summer, these placemats recall days relaxing after a stroll along the shore, gathering seashells or sitting watching the ocean waves. With colours reminiscent of white sandy beaches, coral-tinted seashells, the sea and the sky, the Somertide Placemats set the scene for a summer lunch by the pool.
The placemats are worked using two stands of a crisp cotton/linen yarn held together and the pattern includes instructions for four different sizes of placemats together with a set of matching coasters. For more information about this new pattern, please click here.
